| | | By Jennifer Wake |  | | Image provided | The Saint Mary's College Dance Company's collective dance concert, "Unveiling," which will be offered both in-person and live-streamed beginning Nov. 17, shares investigations of time, women's rights, familial warfare, religious oppression, marginalization, and many more innovative concepts.
This showcase is produced, performed and choreographed by the Dance Program's Senior Class of 2023: Faith Alexis, Sofia Amador, Trinity R Boykin, Rochelle Demelo, Sev Fisher, Andrio Jordan Fong, Olivia Rose Grimes, Alexa Janezell, Elena Prisco, and features a new work by guest artist and alumna?Micah Sallid. According to the Saint Mary's website, "Unveiling"?is a collective dance show that is motivated by the idea of finding grounding and balance within the dance community amidst readjusting from the Covid-19 pandemic. "Returning to campus this fall and reflecting on the shared experiences of the last few years, these emerging choreographers are exploring concepts of familial warfare, changing love, women's rights, time, self divinity, power within marginalization, religious oppression, homesickness, and the instability of dance spaces."
Andrew Merrell, Dance Faculty and Senior Project Advisor, says he is honored and excited to be on this journey of choreographic exploration with this current group of SMC seniors. "All of them are attacking their work with vigor and deep inquiry. They are on a fearless endeavor of making their voices heard in a world that needs very much to listen and take notice!"
"Unveiling" will be performed Nov. 17-19 at 8 p.m. in LeFevre Theatre, and at 2 p.m. Nov. 19 (Live in LeFevre and livestreamed). Tickets: $15 General Admission, $8 for SMC students, $12 Staff/Faculty/ Non-SMC students. Online sales.
